Ok after some further research I figured this out. My last workingversion of the Linux Kernel was 2.6.7 which worked with my rescuesystem. I now applied the bk* patches upwards to check which one causedthe issue and I figured that this happened between bk3 to bk4 (so theproblem occoured with the bk4 patch). The diskimage was created withmtools 3.9.9 and worked perfectly before.

The diskimage was created that way for countless months without anyproblems. You find the image as attachment. After bunzip'ing it youreceive a 2,88 mb file (don't worry about the tiny size now) with themd5sum: dc27cfe332cf96238e80d148c9955b9e[unhandled content-type:application/x-bzip]
